The school was very pleasant. The staff were very helpful if I had a problem, and the teachers were brilliant. The best part of the course was being asked to translate for a waiter to a tourist in a café in the central plaza! The other students were really nice. I made some great friends. The activities were fun, but a little repetitive. I would have loved to go on a few more weekend trips. The main areas of Santiago were fine, with a little petty crime, but generally safe. Going out was fun. The nightlife was good – loads of places to go in different areas, Bodeguero!” Rachel: Standard Course “My three weeks flew by! Thanks CESA I had a fantastic time and you were so quick to deal with my emails – very reassuring! I meet some amazing people in Santiago and got to improve my Spanish in class, and practise everything a lot out of class.
